The Budget

precisely, the economy and government relies on us to be as big a consumer as possible. The entire economic model that we follow relies and requires limitless economic growth which required a growth in consumption which requires moe money to exist which requires debt.

looks like someone's been brushing up on his Marx. I'm not a Marxist but it's incredible to think that this guy was saying exactly the same things about limitless economic growth 150 years ago and it still rings true...
